Shao Feilan couldn't help but swallow with wide eyes at the assortment of delicacies set on the dining table.
There was alot with a bit of everything.
She was so hungry she was on the verge of drooling from the different splendid aromas that assaulted her nose.
But Feilan glanced at Lushan who was seated at the end of the dining table facing her. His expression was calm as he waved lightly indicating that the attendants where free to leave.
They swiftly all bowed and left the exclusive VIP room and Lushan's gaze remained on her.
The room was awkwardly silent and Lushan said calmly " Are you not going to eat"
Feilan swallowed 'Ohh she wanted to eat alright...but she felt nervous eating under this man's scrutinizing gaze.
"I'm waiting for you start off the meal seeing as I am your guest" Feilan tried to remain calm.
Lushan smirked lightly "Don't worry about me...feel free to eat....remember that if you can't even eat freely before me when we're alone...how do you expect to act before others "
Feilan didn't respond to his statement but she could no longer contain her hunger and need for food so she elegantly and gracefully started her meal and tried not to think about Lushan whose sharp eyes didn't move an inch from her.
But once Feilan started eating, she felt sweet relief to finally be able to fill her stomach.
And gawd the tastes of these dishes were out of this world. Every bite was filled with juicy taste.
And Feilan's lips curled in pleasure when she saw her favourite dish since childhood 'Onigori Rice balls'
And on instinct Feilan closed her eyes as per habit as she chewed on the addictive rice balls.
There taste exploding in her mouth.
"Hmmm.." Feilan couldn't resist the body reaction of eating something this good. It had been a while since she last ate these rice balls.
And it's as if Feng International Restaurant had some special ingredients that made this favourite dish of hers even more outstanding.
Feilan had completely forgotten even about Lushan.
Her mind only processing 'Eat, eat and eat some more'
Lushan watched her in silence and a bit of amusement, studying her facial expression keenly.
'This woman was interesting'
Feilan surprisingly and unknowingly downed down alot.
She was hungry alright. Lushan couldn't resist the urge to chuckle lightly drawing Feilan's attention.
There was a stubborn piece of rice seated at the corner of her lips with a smugde of sauce.
Feilan stared at him dumbly 'Why was this guy chuckling out of the blue'
Lushan indicated using his face as an example "You have a little bit of something right here"
He pointed to the corner of his lips.
Feilan quickly lowered her head and picked up a napkin and indeed some food was smudged at the corner of her mouth.
She had been so caught up in eating that she forgot to take care of how she ate. Feilan quickly wiped it off as a faint blush crept up to her face 'This was too embarrassing'
Feilan coughed to hide her embarrassment and said with a lowered gaze "You haven't eaten"
Lushan didn't say anything to her statement and simply sipped the wine in his glass savouring it's taste like he was some master critic.
His expression clearly indicating that there...now I've eaten.
Feilan couldn't resist staring at this strange unknown man and the question came to mind a bit late but she still asked
"Uhmm..Lushan...why do you need a girlfriend and most importantly.....of all the people that a seemingly capable man like you could chose from...why me"
Lushan gazed at her above the rim of the wine glass and his gaze was a bit cold and Feilan felt her heart stop.
"I need a girlfriend to lie my family ofcourse...."
Feilan felt her jaw drop....what kind of absurd reason was that.
Lushan suddenly glanced at her with a serious face and said "Plus..I don't need to remind you that you owe me thus the reason I chose you and your commendable acting skills are perfect...
"Other than that there is nothing special for me choosing you...."
Feilan didn't know how to feel about such an answer so she just shrugged wondering whose family she was gonna end up lying to.
Feilan really hoped things wouldn't backfire with what she had gotten herself into.
As Feilan was deep in thought, her phone started ringing.
Feilan checked the caller ID and was startled to find it was her general manager so she glanced at Lushan and said
"Please excuse me....it's my company's general manager...I have to answer this"
Lushan gave a light nod but there was a light smirk at the corner of his lips. Feilan suddenly had a speculation but she refused to believe it so she stood up and walked to the lounge and answered the call.
Before Feilan could say hello...the general manager's excited voice spoke first
"Miss Shao...you won't believe it but thirty minutes ago an anonymous investor contacted us and said that they want to invest ten billion dollars in Feilan Fashion today and their only terms are ten percent share holdings in Feilan Fashion
"This is unbelievable Miss Shao...but it's a miracle....the investor has already sent over their representatives with a prepared contract....
"I've taken my time to go through the contract Miss Shao and it checks out 100%...no loop holes
"I don't know if this is a blessing sent from the gods Miss Shao but this is the chance Feilan Fashion needs to make a comeback revival and growth"
The excited general manager was on cloud nine and Feilan was frozen on spot.
An anonymous investor wanted to invest ten billion dollars in Feilan Fashion.
Feilan felt her heart tossing in the whirlpool of emotions.
She turned around and glanced at Lushan....his smile was calm as if he knew exactly what shocking news she had received.
Feilan faced forward and was really overwhelmed.....was she really about to save Feilan Fashion.
"I'll be right there...we'll sign the deal..." she said without hesitation.
The general manager laughed happily "Yes, Miss Shao....I'll have the representatives wait comfortably in the VIP lounge room as we await your quick arrival"
"Hmm.." Feilan hummed in response.
"Wow..Feilan Fashion still stands..." the general manager's voice faded.
Feilan ended the call and she stood there in silence for a while feeling overwhelmed.
Her eyes teared up and she couldn't control the tear that slid down her face.
Feilan Fashion was too precious to her and now that opportunity had truly come....she was happy beyond words.
